text: I have been incredibly reclusive this month of January - holing up in a Midwest hideaway - writing, writing, writing. It can be so good to take time to be by yourself (with a piano, of course)! And so it will be with great enthusiasm that I return to LA this week and have the first show of the new year! This Saturday, February 1st, come ON DOWN to WitZend in Venice (1717 Lincoln Boulevard @ Superba) and join us! I am so honored to be accompanied by Erik Eldenius on drums, John Schreffler, Jr. on guitar, and David Sutton on bass! It will be so much fun and I hope to see you there! We hit the stage at 9pm promptly, but come early and stay late for a whole night of music - 8pm - Check in the Dark and at 11pm - The Graves Brothers! HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRRR!!!!!

DETROIT (My TV 20 News at 10) - The arrests are part of Operation "Save Our Seniors."
It's a joint effort between WSU Police, the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Authorities claim drug dealers forced their way into two senior citizen apartment buildings where, and conducted their illegal operations there.
They intimidated residents as dealers sold anything from marijuana to cocaine and heroin.
Investigators tell us dealers threatened tenants if they contacted police.
Some of those arrested include tenants.
A similar raid took place at the City View Towers senior apartment building.

Bogus Pro-RGGI Report Exposed as Flawed
The following is from AFP's latest newsletter...
Click here to listen to our latest radio spot urging Kip Bateman to keep New Jersey out of RGGI!
Ever since Gov. Christie decided to withdraw our state from the job-destroying RGGI Cap & Trade scheme, the liberal left and environmentalists have been on the counter-attack.
Just like President Obama, liberals in Trenton are beholden to a radical environmentalist movement. They want to keep the RGGI electricity tax around so that they have a slush fund to pay for their green energy rip-offs and to line the pockets of the politically well-connected.

Astrid integrates with Siri for voice-powered reminders
I rely pretty heavily on the iOS Reminders app -- not because it's especially good (it's not), but because it works with Siri. I love being able to dictate tasks ("Remind me to call Bob at 3 o'clock," for example) while I'm driving or otherwise hands-occupied.
That's a key reason I've stuck with Reminders, even when there are so many other better to-do-list apps out there. Thankfully, one them just offered a chance at liberation: Astrid now offers Siri integration.

Its probably silt from the ground water that is entering the pit. I get it in my pit alot too.
I need some help with a mysterious brown slime/sludge that is adhering to the sides of my sump basin. Sorry for the lack of inforamtion but that's the best way I can describe what it is.
Any idea what this is and how I can do away with it ???
Thanks !
Its probably silt from the ground water that is entering the pit. I get it in my pit alot too.
Jason Baker
It's not really silt /sand but as best as I can describe a slime or some type of algae which is rust colored. It is slippery where it is frequently near water and where the water has not touched for some time it hardens a bit. Over time it appears as though it getting worse.
Hope that helps to describe it a bit further.
It is some kind of algae, not sure if it matters what kind. If you leave water in any container long enough it will do the same thing. (think dirty aquarium)
During the summer when the pit is relatively dry I use a brush to scrub my pit with a solution of bleach and water. Then I use the shop vac to suck any debris out of the bottom of the pit. There is always sand, small pebbles, etc. in the pit that should be removed. Many pumps won't take kindly to solids- I'm sure keeping the basin clean adds to the life of a pump.

It's been that kind of week for sports fans, one where many will sigh and despair.
Armstrong, who could claim seven Tour de France titles before they were stripped from him last year, admitted this week what has been widely accepted for months. Namely, that Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs while dazzling the world with his bicycle racing.
Speaking with Oprah Winfrey in an interview televised Thursday, Armstrong admitted his misdeeds after more than a decade of repeated denials.
Into this drama comes another story of an athlete and deception. Manti Te'o, the Notre Dame linebacker who was a finalist for this year's Heisman Trophy, is caught up in a story involving the supposed death of a girlfriend who did not exist.
Te'o and Notre Dame officials say that the football player is the victim of a hoax. Others aren't so sure Te'o is blameless.
Early in the 2012 football season, a storyline caught fire about Te'o. We were told the linebacker's girlfriend died of leukemia on the same day his grandmother died. Despite his grief at the passing of two people so close to him, Te'o led the Fighting Irish to victory over Michigan State and eventually an undefeated regular season.
Such stories of overcoming tragedy are like gold for TV networks with big-money contracts to broadcast college sports. The hype machine kicked in and Te'o's story spread across the nation.
While the death of his grandmother was real, Deadspin.com reported this week that the girlfriend Lennay Kekua was fake.
In a statement released Wednesday, the football star called the incident "incredibly embarrassing." If it's proven that Te'o played any role in spreading this deception, the shame will grow even worse.
It's difficult to see how Armstrong's shame could be worse. He's already betrayed the trust of millions. The cyclist and his win-at-all-costs mindset has left a trail of crushed former teammates, friends and business associates. Once they were no longer useful to the driven Armstrong, they were cast aside.
Somewhere in that heap are fans of Armstrong. Some were moved by his ability to overcome cancer and succeed at the very top of a demanding sport. Others were converts to a sport where most of the dominant competitors hale from Europe.
Both achievements will survive Armstrong's scandal. His Tour de France victories will remain as impressive displays of athleticism and overcoming a life-threatening disease. (And, if we're honest, most of his cycling competitors were cheating by using performance-enhancing drugs.)
However, very little brings comfort when considering how America is watching more of its sports heroes slip off their pedestals.

Bedding set
We have only just assembled this cot and won't be using it fully for the next few months but we were very impressed with how easily it assembled, it didn't take very long at all. Also it is a good sturdy design and looks really good. So far we're really pleased with our purchase.
This cot looks good and is sturdy. Looks more expensive than actually is. Got great deal on cot and couldn't be more pleased with it. Suitable for either girl or boy and my little princess looks great in it. Very happy with my purchase. Only downside was we struggled slightly to assemble it but that was not an issue with the cot, it was due to lack of space we had to put it together.
The cot was delivered on time by a smiling Don. Had it unpacked & together in 30mins. My husband is 75yrs old & he had no trouble putting it up. Can't wait to see our little French grandson in it.Thouroughly recommend kiddicare & I'm not easy to please!!! Thankyou kiddicare.
Great value , very easy to put up can do without instructions it's that simple and very sturdy ..... Overall I'm very happy
Only thing we had issue with was that plastic collars at end of dropside had been pushed back prior to delivery and the illustration was unclear on this.

As an Illinois business owner, there are many things out of your control. You can't control every action your employees take to ensure it's the safest and most efficient. You can't control the weather, which caused your business to lose a week's worth of income short-term and much more long-term. You can't control the fire that started at a connected office, which caused the electricity in your building to be turned off for weeks.
But what about the risks you can control? Illinois business insurance is an excellent way to allow you to concentrate on profit and minimize the risks out of your control.
Regardless of what line of business you work in commercial insurance can protect you in a host of ways, including:
The costs associated with a business insurance policy are small compared with the large risks that you'll protect against.
When it comes to purchasing commercial insurance, there's no shortage of options. What differentiates Weiss Insurance from other agencies is the WIA Process.
The Weiss Insurance Agencies or WIA Process is designed to address every risk you incur as a business owner. We provide you with a definitive plan as to how you can make your program "best in class".
Instead of being your insurance agent, we're focused on being your insurance adviser. We just don't shop your insurance out to the companies we have contracts with and get back to you with a price. There's much more to what you get...
The Weiss Insurance Agencies process delivers in the following ways:
As an executive, your time is far too valuable to take on appointments from multiple agents every year at renewal. By engaging in the WIA Process, worst case scenario is you find your current insurance program contains no errors and you're paying a fair price. If that's the case, you sleep better knowing you're insured properly, for the best possible price. You now can focus your energy on income generating activities.
Get the right IL Business insurance today. For many, you've put your entire life into your business. It's important it's protected properly, for the best possible price.
Here are two reasons to get started right away!

Let me help you with that answer:
BWHAAAA....Haaaaa.....haaaaa....... while we are at it, let's just sign Tebow as well.
Look, like everyone else, I know this guy sucks as a starting or franchise QB. But as a back-up? $hoot, you could do a heckuva lot worse (e.g. Batch, Leftwich) than Buttfumble as your back-up QB. Five years starting experience, under 30 years old, and deep playoff experience (two AFCC games)...
It's not going to happen, because he will most certainly go to a place where his prospects to start are much greater... Plus, we don't need his "pretty-boy" drama. But I can't think of many (any) back-ups who are obviously better than him.


text: None of the low-flow toilets are designed to empty the tank...they use the water height in the tank to give the amount they do use more oomph. So, the modification you made changed the toilet into a non-conforming 3+ gallon flush tank. There are quality toilets out there that do work fine with the lower flows. So, you are not getting the water savings you paid for. Pay a little more now, or pay forever for more water and sewer charges; your choice.

Best time to take a vacation to Hawaii
With Hawaii weather, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bad time to go. Leeward (southwestern) coasts are sunny and arid, and the windward (northeastern) sides are mountainous with jungles and pounding surf. The uplands are cooler and the landscape is rural. From December to March, Hawaii sees an influx of crowds and hotel rates are competitive. Fall and spring are little slower and discount hotel rates are easier to find. Winter brings rain, but the temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees.
Events populate Hawaii year-round, but if you want to join the largest crowds, hit Aloha Festivals on Oahu in September, the Ironman World Championship on the Big Island in October, and the Honolulu Marathon on Oahu in December.
Insider tips for Hawaii travel
Side Street Inn (Honolulu, Oahu)
Experience Hawaii like a local at this Honolulu haven. Located on Kapahulu Avenue, drinks are reasonably priced and the pork chops are a house specialty.
Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona Memorial (Hawaii)
Honor the thousands who lost their lives here, most famously at the USS Arizona Memorial, which is accessible only by boat. Beneath the memorial is the sunken hull of the battleship where more than 1,100 sailors lost their lives. Admission is free, with tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Rancho Vitorino (Kapaau, Hawaii)
Hit the trails with smooth-riding Hawaii Paso Finos -- gaited horses ideal for all ages and skill-levels. The Vitorinos specialize in historic horseback rides on Hawaii's North Kohala Coast, including rides through plantations and rainforests.
Tunnels Beach (Haena, Kauai)
This is one of Kauai's top sites for snorkelers, scuba divers and swimmers. The massive hook-shaped reef features inner crevices teeming with sea life and tunnels and caverns along the outer reef. Check the reports before heading out, especially during winter, when the sea is consistently rough.
The Maui Theatre (Lahaina, Maui)
Experience Hawaiian mythology and history at "Ulalena: A Story of Hawaii's People" where the stage lights up with acrobats, hula, traditional dance and music.
Hilo Farmers Market (Hilo, Hawaii)
Named one of the West's best farmers markets by Sunset Magazine; shop here for fresh produce, tropical flowers and handmade crafts.

Hawaii highlights
Kilauea Volcano (Hawaii)
This scorching beauty on the southeastern side of the Big Island is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Loop the Crater Rim Drive where you'll zip through a rainforest, see steam vents, treeless plain cliffs and Halema'uma'u Crater, plus the Jaggar Museum abuzz with seismographs and stunning views.
Diamond Head Crater (Oahu)
This Oahu beauty mark was left after a volcano exploded some 300,000 years ago. Experienced hikers hit the dramatic Diamond Head Summit Trail, a 1.6-mile loop to the summit and back with views of the southeastern Oahu shoreline.
Waikiki and Honolulu (Oahu)
These Oahu hotspots are Hawaii's most popular, studded with hotels, beaches, Asian-fuelled eateries and shopping. Head to Waikiki Beach for swimming and surfing, and bring the kids to the Hawaii Children's Discover Center.
Polynesian Cultural Center (Oahu)
Explore the traditions of Polynesian culture and the people of Hawaii, Easter Island, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti and more. Swivel your hips in an authentic luau, watch a canoe pageant and join hands-on activities such as tree climbing and tiki carving.
Haleiwa (Oahu)
Time moves a little slower in this historic surf town. Hang ten at Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Ehukai (Banzai Pipeline) -- the area's most famous. Surfers dig the big waves in winter, while summer brings much calmer shores. Put a hibiscus in your hair, then hit the town's boutiques or pineapple plantations in nearby Wahiawa.
Hanauma Bay (Oahu)
This curvaceous bay 10 miles east of Waikiki draws snorkelers to its calm waters. Come face to face with colorful fish, manta rays and turtles. (The beach is closed on Tuesdays.)
Na Pali Coast (Kauai)
Plan your arrival to this rugged 15-mile stretch, inaccessible to automobiles. Arrive via boat or helicopter tour and spend the day sailing, rafting and hiking.
The Road to Hana (Maui)
The town of Hana is on the east side of Maui, but it's the road getting there that people rave about. This 68-mile drive from Kahului is more like a three-hour obstacle course with hairpin turns, one-lane bridges and narrow roadways. But the white-knuckle grips offer ongoing rewards with spectacular views, and a coastal rainforest with lush vegetation.
Haleakala National Park (Maui)
Located less than two hours from Kahului, a trip here is not the jetlagged or tired: The best time to hike Mount Haleakala is 3 a.m. to reach the summit in time for sunrise.

Leaving Las Vegas - Adventures Beyond The Las Vegas Strip
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 03 May 2003 03:24
- Written by Petra Lattmann
LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- If you find yourself with some free time during your trip to Clean '03 and are longing to escape the glitter of Las Vegas, if for just a day, you're in for a treat.
From historical sights to recreation areas, Clean Show attendees and their families have a wide-range of activities to choose from - so if you have some time to explore, have some fun unwinding outside of the city!
The spectacular Hoover Dam, visited each year by thousands of tourists, is just 30 miles south of Vegas on Hwy 95. Daily-guided tours of the dam's power plant are either 35 or 60 minutes long. And Lake Mead, the world's largest man-made lake, has 550 miles of shoreline to swim, fish, boat or hike along. There are also paddlewheel boat dinner/dancing cruises available. You'll pass through Boulder City on the way to these sights - so if craft, antique and boutique shops are your passion, take a break and explore this quaint town.
Just north of "The Strip" is Hwy 159 (Charleston Boulevard), which winds westward through 83,000 acres of conservation area. Along the way is Red Rock Canyon. Stop in the visitor's center and pick up information on local hiking trails, waterfalls and ancient Indian petroglyphs - rock carvings and inscriptions. If you take the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Byway - a 13-mile one-way driving loop - you'll be treated to a rainbow of multi-colored sandstone formations and you may possibly catch a glimpse of area wildlife, Desert Bighorn Sheep, bobcats, gray foxes and wild burros.
The Old Wild West beckons a bit farther down Hwy 159 - at Bonnie Springs Ranch, a replica 1880's mining town. From gunslingers in the streets to a miniature train, petting zoo and riding stables, it's family fun all around, including its very own Boot Hill Cemetery, a historical cemetery. To view fascinating sandstone rock formations, visit the 26,000 acres of Valley of Fire State Park. This desert park, located 50 miles northeast of Las Vegas on I-15 will dazzle you with 150 million-year old fiery-red rock formations in full view of the many hiking trails and scenic drives.
The August sun is hot in Nevada, so if you'd like to cool down and unwind with sweeping vista views of the surrounding area visit Mount Charleston in the Toiyabe National Forest. Just 20 miles north of Las Vegas on Hwy 95, turning at Hwy 156 or 157, you'll feel the air cool down at the elevation of nearly 12,000 feet. You can golf, hike, horseback ride or just have a picnic and enjoy the view above the sweltering heat below.
If you enjoy American wines, take an hour drive west of town to visit the Pahrump Winery, in operation since 1990. Free tours of this Mojave Desert winery are complimented by the tasting bar, rose garden gazebo, and restaurant. Take I-15 south to 160 West, over the Spring Mountains and into the Pahrump Valley.
Adventurers interested in full day-trips can choose to visit the Grand Canyon (west and south rims), which is easily accessible by many of the bus tours offered.
And finally, if alien sightings peak your imagination you can take a ride on the infamous 100-mile long Extraterrestrial Highway (Hwy 375.) Located 140 miles north on Hwy 93 you can reach this barren highway made famous in 1950 when a UFO supposedly crashed and an alien was captured and taken to the nearby government facility for examination. The story has never been proven - or disproven. So if you believe, pack a lunch and take a break somewhere along the highway - and keep your eyes on the skies.

A Research Study to Examine the Difference Between Local Anesthetics Alone and Local Anesthetics Plus Steroids in the Treatment of Chronic Headache
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Subjects are scheduled to undergo a Greater Occipital Nerve Block (GONB) as treatment for your chronic daily headache. GONB has been used for many years in the treatment of headaches. The nerve block is done by injecting a liquid drug through the skin of the back of the head to the area of the greater occipital nerve. The nerve runs superficially in this area, therefore the drugs are injected just under the skin. The injected drugs block electrical transmission through the nerve, resulting in reduced head pain. There are treatment options for patients receiving a GONB, however, some clinicians use local anesthetics (lidocaine and /or bupivicaine) alone, and some use local anesthetics with local steroid injection. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not there is an observed difference between these two treatment approaches for GONB. We expect to enroll 60 patients into this research study at Thomas Jefferson University only.
Drug: lidocaine plus bupivicaine
Drug: lidocaine plus bupivicaine plus triamcinolone (steroid)
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Comparison Of Greater Occipital Nerve Block With Lidocaine And Bupivicaine Alone Or With Steroids In a Chronic Headache Population
- To compare the efficacy of greater occipital nerve (GON) block with lidocaine 2% and bupivicaine 0.5% (treatment A), versus lidocaine 2% and bupivicaine 0.5% plus triamcinolone (kenalog) 40mg (treatment B), in treatment of daily or near daily headache.
- Efficacy will be assessed as decrease in headache pain, as measured on an 11-point verbal scale (0=no pain, 10=excruciating pain). Efficacy will be compared between treatment groups and to historical baseline within each group.
- To assess the tolerability of the two treatment protocols (treatment A versus treatment B)
- To evaluate the effect of treatment on neck pain in the two groups compared to historical baseline, and between the two treatment groups.
- To evaluate effect of treatment on associated symptoms (nausea, phonophobia and photophobia) as measured using a 4 point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) compared to historical baseline, and between the two treatment groups.
- To evaluate effect of treatment on acute-medication use, compared to historical baseline, and between the two treatment groups.

Well, I sold my house in Libertyville IL and I'm living temporarily in a townhome in Kenosha WI.
I plan to try just about every restaurant in Kenosha, hopefully sorted in order by Roadfood cred, so I'm asking for advice on not only "Where Should I Eat" but also "What Should I Eat?" … at your recommended restaurant(s), which specific item(s) do you suggest that I try?
I've already started the list below. Let me know your ideas and I'll add them to my list! For the restaurants and items on the list so far, do you notice anything that is missing, over-rated or mis-guided?

try the hamburger and root beer

For my daughter's birthday this coming Sunday we're going to the outlet mall in Pleasant Prairie. The area has a proliferation of chain restaurants so are there any places other worth visiting? I'm committed to a White Castle stop but the rest of the family will probably want something else.
I suppose I could drop them at the mall and do my own little tour, and then at the end of the day see if they outspent me.

For pizza, one without question is Wells Brothers in Racine. Paper thin tavern style (like Chicago) pizza. It is in a rough part of town, but they actually have police that watch the parking lot (which makes it actually safer than anywhere else) and the people that go there are not from the local neighborhood if you catch my drift! Mike and Angelo's is another one that's good in Racine.
As far as Kenosha itself goes, I haven't had any pizza there yet, but one place I've been told to try is Antonio's 5-Fifty Pizza Pub at 2410 52nd St. Another tavern style thin crust that is common to Wisconsin and Chicago.

Gold Flat Lid
These gold brushed metal lids are a great alternative to glass tops and provide a modern finish for your containers.
- Love the gold, but scratch very easily
I was so excited for these gold lids! However, they scratch very easily. In fact, 4 out of the 12 I ordered were scratched. It appears they are painted with a very thin layer of gold because you can see the silver in the scratches underneath. I was a disappointed since they cost $1.65 per lid with standard shipping, too pricey for imperfect quality.

$3,999 Jeeps That Get You In The Door
Whether you've just started off-roading or you're looking for your next project Jeep, there's a lot of really good stuff available for under $4,000. You can get a good running and driving Jeep for less than the down payment of a new pickup with manual windows and a rubber carpet and still have enough money left to fill the tank a couple of times.
Here are some ideas we came up with for Jeeps that will get you out on the trail without breaking the bank. Some offer more reliability, others offer more cargo room, and a few offer the sense of adventure that can only come with the marriage of significant off-road capability coupled with mechanical uncertainty. So whether you want to take the wife and kids camping, hit the trails of Moab, or just plain wander into the great unknown and break down, there's a Jeep out there with your name on it.
'74-'79 J-truck/Wagoneer - Rednecks Come-a-Courtin'Let's face it. If you're looking for an affordable fullsize Jeep, your selection is severely limited. While J-trucks and Wagoneers were made throughout the '60s, the '74-'79 models had better drivetrain parts and a few more creature comforts. They're easier to modify with aftermarket parts, they're easier to find replacement parts for at the local auto store, and they command a slightly lower price than the earlier stuff.
Look For: Both the AMC 360 and 401 V-8s were optional from '74-'78. All front axles were open-knuckle Dana 44s, but disc brakes were optional on the '74-'76 pickups, so look for that. The T-18 tranny was available with or without a granny low. Power steering is a plus, as is the Model 20 T-case.
Avoid: We'd rather not have the TH400 with the Quadra-Trac full-time T-case and offset rear axle. While the inline-six may be adequate, why bother when V-8s are plentiful?
Ideal Candidate: We'd nab a pre-smog (in California at least) '74 or '75 model with a 401 four-barrel, a T-18 tranny, disc brakes, and air conditioning. We'd also like the bed full of gold bars and a supermodel who would chauffeur it for us.
Expect to Pay: Anywhere from $1,700 to $3,999 for a solid runner in reliable condition.
'41-'53 Flatfender - Wheel a LegendFlatties are still the king of cool in the dirt. With a nimble 80-inch wheelbase, they offer great maneuverability, although they do have very limited cargo capacity. A stock flattie will go places you'd never dream possible, and a built one will astound you. Unless you're extremely patient, plan on eventually ditching the stock 60hp flathead four-banger.
Look For: The '49-'53 CJ-3A and '50-'52 M-38 have a Dana 44 rear that's easy to upgrade, unlike earlier models' Spicer 25 or Spicer 41. Early 225 Buick V-6 conversions were popular, as were Chevy and Ford V-8 conversions. Swapped-in granny trannies like the SM420 are abundant.
Avoid: Stock drivetrain parts are marginal for all but the original L-head four-cylinder, which there aren't many of still around. Just avoid hacked, poorly executed engine, transmission, steering, and suspension work.
Ideal Candidate: A largely unmolested CJ-3A or M-38 with the original drivetrain in running condition is ideal. Minor mods like swapped seats, rollbars, or even a suspension lift are good. A vehicle like this would be a killer weekend fun rig and the beginning of a great, serious trail buildup.
Expect to Pay: Anywhere from $1,500 to $3,999 for a running, driving example.

On a recent trip to California, significant other and I had our photograph taken holding a jeroboam of Silver Oak. "Jeroboam" is the name for a bottle more often referred to as a "double magnum," holding the equivalent of four standard-size bottles.
Alas, the bottle was a light-weight dummy. Not only did those being photographed have a choice of bottles to hold, but the gift shop was doing a brisk business selling these large, fake bottles to those wanting to decorate their cellars or impress unsuspecting wine snobs.
Giant bottles are definitely attention getters — and the real giants are rare. The largest format real bottle I have encountered is a "balthazar" that held an equivalent of 16 standard bottles of Staglin Family cabernet.
A fortunate bidder snagged this behemoth for a mere $90,000 at this year's Auction Napa Valley. The bottle was stored in Staglin's private cellar awaiting transport. Transportation arrangements for such a bottle could be fodder for an episode of A&E's "Shipping Wars," the immensely educational and entertaining television program where "each episode dives into the cutthroat world of heavy duty movers as they battle for the chance to transport the unshippable."
The most prevalent large-format bottle is the "magnum," the equivalent of two standard bottles. Most top wineries produce limited quantities of these bottles from each vintage.
Dan Berger, in an October Press Democrat article, describes these large bottles as chambers of horror. He brings up sobering points like how and where these large bottles are to be stored. Like standard bottles, large bottles need to be stored on their sides. Few have shelving to accommodate such bottles.
Further, Berger touches on the complications involved should someone actually decide to consume the giant bottle. From a personal standpoint, I find it challenging to pour from a standard 750 ml bottle.
Significant other struggled with a jeroboam of Chilean wine won by friends at a wine tasting a few years back. First came the difficulty of cork removal. Large format bottles generally have larger corks unsuited for current cork-removal technology. Once the cork is extricated, how does one heft the weighty bottle for pouring? Even decanting such bottles into multiple decanters cries for the rental of a crane.
Large bottles are prized by the rich and famous at charity events. The average wine consumer is not likely to come into contact with any of these bottles. If ever encountering one, be aware they carry hard-to-pronounce names of biblical kings and patriarchs. No one knows for certain why this came to be.
The earliest recorded use of a biblical name for a large-format bottle comes from Bordeaux, where in the early 18th century winemakers called a large bottle holding four standard size bottles a jeroboam, for the first king of Israel. Jeroboam is described in the Bible as a man of great worth. Hence a large bottle of Bordeaux would be of great worth, but this premise is scholarly speculation.
Following the jeroboam is the rehoboam, the equivalent of six bottles; methuselah, the equivalent of eight bottles; mordechai and salmanazar are 12 bottles; balthazar is 16 bottles and nebuchadnezzar is 20 bottles.
The largest format bottle, holding the equivalent of 40 bottles, is the melchizedek, named for the biblical high priest of Israel.
If UPS appears at your door with a melchizedek, you should: a) Tell them you are not into exotic pets, b) order a crane and invite 80 of your closest friends, or c) tell them the addressee no longer resides at the residence.
(The correct answer is c.)

Bruins-Penguins confirmed for Saturday as manhunt ends in Boston
By Allan Muir
With the successful conclusion to the hunt for the Boston Marathon bomber, the NHL has confirmed that the Boston-Pittsburgh game will be played Saturday afternoon at 12:30 EDT. The Bruins will now play their final six games of the season in a span of just nine days.
It's official, finally. Here's the word, direct from the league:
The game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins scheduled for tonight at TD Garden has been postponed, the National Hockey League announced today.
The game has been tentatively rescheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, April 20, at TD Garden beginning at 12:30 p.m., Eastern time. The game's status will be formalized no later than 8:30 a.m.
The game between the Penguins and Buffalo Sabres, scheduled for Saturday night in Pittsburgh, has been moved to Tuesday, April 23 at 7:30p.m., ET.
It's worth noting the use of the word "tentatively" ahead of the rescheduled date. There's no way of knowing at this point if life in the city will be back to normal by that point, so we could be going through this again tomorrow. Good on the league, though, for specifying the time by which they'll make the call on that one.
If #pens #bruins ppd tonight, might be easier for #nhl to have them play here tomorrow and reschedule Saturday's #pens #sabres game.—
Chris Stevenson (@CJ_Stevenson) April 19, 2013
That's an interesting take. That would seem to be the only practical option other than extending the regular season further if tonight's game is postponed as expected.
Globe colleague Nick Cafardo tweeting that Sox star David Ortiz has been told Red Sox will NOT play this eve.—
Kevin Paul Dupont (@GlobeKPD) April 19, 2013
If the Red Sox are canceling, there is a 100 percent chance the Bruins will follow suit. Stay tuned.
Told by league people there hasn't been consideration to playing the bruins/pens game in an empty building tonight.—
Daren Millard (@darenmillard) April 19, 2013
UPDATE 1:00 PM: Still no official word yet on tonight's Boston-Pittsburgh game as of 1 PM, but we have to be getting close to the point where a call is made. The T in Boston is still shut down, and police and other official resources needed for security at the TD Gardens are still being purposed in the hunt for the Boston Marathon bomber. At this point, it seems unlikely the game will be played tonight.
The hunt for the remaining Boston Marathon bombing suspect has the city of Boston on lockdown this morning as authorities attempt to ensure everyone's safety. No surprise then to see this announcement minutes ago from the Bruins:
Bruins and @penguins have cancelled their morning skates today. Will provide further updates on the day's schedule when appropriate ^BB—
Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) April 19, 2013
No word yet on how this will impact tonight's scheduled game, but one would suspect that if the manhunt extends early into the afternoon, we could see another postponement.
One NHL source says the league is "closely monitoring the situation." Another said he was unaware of any deadline by which point the league would made a decision regarding the game.
Both teams were planning to wear jerseys with special patches that were to be auctioned off after the game, with all proceeds going to assist bombing victims.
Another postponement could pose problems for the league. The NHL regular season already has been extended by a day because of the bombings, with a game scheduled for Monday night between the Bruins at Senators rescheduled to April 28. The Stanley Cup playoffs currently are set to begin April 30.
We'll keep you updated on details as they become available. If you're in Boston, stay indoors and stay safe.

Agent: Gaitan would like to play for United
The agent of Benfica midfielder Nicolas Gaitan has suggested that Manchester United would be the player's preferred club, after months of transfer speculations.
However, Gaitan's agent Jose Ibarren denies that a deal has been agreed for the player, but confirmed that the 24-year-old would like a move to the Old Trafford side.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Ibarren said: "Nicolas likes Manchester United a lot - he would like to play for Manchester United.
"If there is an offer for him Nicolas would be happy to listen and negotiate."
With the impending retirement of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs looming, Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to seek replacements in midfield and Gaitan, who is adept down the left as well as the middle, is seen as a perfect fit to bolster United's attack.

Unused software
It's found money and a help with CSA compliance
Now more than ever, I am amazed at how many fleets overlook the potential of software they already own. Those fleets have many dollars in untapped savings sitting around in unused or under-implemented software.
I'm talking about software already paid for, but with only a limited number of features used, or in some cases, software that is not used at all.
We call it "shelfware." And it's particularly relevant with the enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program.
No fleet manager would ever leave trucks and drivers idle when they could be producing revenue. Yet, many of those same fleets often do exactly that with their fleet software.
Managers who pride themselves on detailed knowledge of their fleet often have no idea what their software could deliver if it were correctly and more completely deployed. We're talking about money saved and the peace of mind that comes with well-documented regulatory compliance.
Three Groups
When it comes to software use, we divide fleets into three basic groups.
Best in class - 65 percent or more utilization. This group buys fleet software and has the software's developer assist with implementation and deployment.
These fleets have multiple people trained in the use of the software, including management. They keep the program in support and insure that they are using the latest version.
They provide their staff with reoccurring training to maximize ROI in savings, increase productivity and minimize downtime.
Utilization of 65 percent might sound light, but it's not bad at all. After all, how many of us use the full potential of, say, Microsoft Office or even Microsoft Word?
We get by - up to 30 percent utilization. This group buys fleet software and implements it themselves with the user's manual as their guide and without assistance from the developer.
They only train one or two people in its use and generally don't keep the program in support after the first year. Nor do they keep their program up-to-date.
Generally this type of user bought the software program to address a particular issue or task. Its utilization is extremely limited and its value and potential remains untapped.
We have software? - no utilization at all. This group doesn't know they own fleet software. Sometime in the past the company bought a fleet program with good intentions but with little planning, support or direction from management.
The software was never fully implemented, and no one was trained in its use.
It was lost in the clamor of everyday business and now resides hidden on someone's computer or in the original software box on a shelf or in a drawer somewhere. It is truly shelfware.
Risk Opportunity
The CSA regulations will eventually overwhelm the "shelfware" fleet. It will be a target for roadside and onsite inspections, and the word "intervention" will become very familiar.
The "we get by" fleets will also draw the attention of inspectors.
If you're in either of these last two categories, chances are that you have a great, low-risk opportunity. You can add significant savings to your company's bottom line, increase your department's productivity, reduce downtime and stay within the CSA Safety Management System that quantifies on-the-road safety performance of both carriers and drivers all at the same time.
Best of all, this is possible with very little investment because you already own the core software.
Information Source
Call the program's developer and talk with them about your needs. They will more than likely ask you relevant questions regarding your program's implementation and its use.
Be honest with them if you want honest answers. They are the best source for information about your program's capabilities, and it will cost you nothing except a phone call.
Ask questions about the program's features and what it would take in time and money to get running at the best-in-class level.

text: Firaxis gives us 6000 years of fun all in one afternoon.Feb 11th, 2008 - It should be said at the very beginning that I'm a huge fan of Civilization on the PC. I take it with me on business trips, I frequent the fan sites, and I even got a history degree just because I wanted to know more about the world the game was simulating. So when Sid Meier and the folks at Firaxis announced console and handheld versions of Civilization, I was instantly curious about the ways the game would translate to the new platforms. We've heard and seen a lot about these new versions over the last year, but last week was the first chance we had to actually sit down with the producers and try the 360 and DS versions of Civilization: Revolution out for ourselves.

The Nines Hotel in Portland, Oregon
(Images: starwoodhotels.com)
3 Comments
This couldn't be better timing! The last item I had to decide on for an upcoming trip to Portland was a hotel. After hearing mixed reviews on Ace, The Nines was the alternate, but after reading about their sustainable practices and support of local endeavors, they are the obvious choice!
This hotel is amazing, and their restaurant, The Urban Farmer, is fantastic. Visited while I was there for a wedding this past summer. If you are going to Portland, definitely go eat there! At the very least, go check out The Nines' lobby.
AT posted about this in April...with the same photos
